New England Patriots tight ends coach Brian Daboll got praise from players on the roster as they adjust to their new coach. "For us having a new position coach in Daboll, he's done a great job," TE Michael Hoomanawanui said. "It's a little different style than I'm used to, but very energetic, very in-your-face. He's going to get the best out of you. He's been around for a long time and coached a lot of great players, so we're all excited about having him."

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Brian Daboll defended his use of RB Jamaal Charles in Week 8. Charles had just eight touches in the game. "Jamaal is a good player ... and give Oakland credit," Daboll said. "They did a nice job of stopping the run. We tried to move it some other ways. Every week is a new week. You go as the game develops. You try to run or pass based some on what you think you can do and some on what they're doing. If they're doing a good job of stopping the run over and over, we're going to try and move the ball in another fashion."

The Kansas City Chiefs have a league-worst 15 turnovers so far this season resulting in 58 points for opponents. The turnovers have forced offensive coordinator Brian Daboll to adjust his game plan. The Chiefs have been behind for 204 minutes out of a possible 249. "I've cut down on some plays here or there as we've gone," Daboll said. "It's been so early in the game the last few weeks that you can still go with your plan. Then it gets to that certain point where you've just got to be ready to go and you have a condensed package and you have to start throwing it around a little bit."

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel said offensive coordinator Brian Daboll will not be a position coach as well because he wants Daboll to focus on the offense. The Chiefs have has their offensive coordinators be positions coaches as well the last several years.

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Brian Daboll said the team will be very aggressive on offense in 2012. "The first word I want to use is 'attack,'" Daboll said. "When you're an offensive football coach, you want to try to really set precedent on the defense and attack the defense."
